Don't you stop
Don't you wonder why
Life itself pops in
And takes you by surprise 

Don't you try to run
It gets you from behind
Like a common cold
It takes you for a ride 

Now is the time
(to call the doctor)
This is a serious case
There's not much time
(now call the doctor)
They love to watch him operate
It comes and goes
(so call the doctor)
They need his special technique
It grows and grows
(now call the doctor)
Calling now for Doctor Detroit

Call the doctor (repeat) 

No need to look
He's not in the book
The doctor's not an M.D.
What he does this time he does for free 

Now is the time
(to call the doctor)
This is a serious case
There's not much time
(now call the doctor)
They love to watch him operate
It comes and goes
(so call the doctor)
they need a special technique
It grows and grows
(now call the doctor)
Calling now for Doctor Detroit!
